List of accessories needed to set up Biofloc fish farm.

Biofloc technology is a technique of enhancing water quality in aquaculture through balancing carbon and nitrogen in the system.

Here is the list of accessories:-

1. Main Requirements

• PVC Tarpaulin/Cement Tank
• Wire Mesh for Tarpaulin Tank
• Air Pump/Ring Blower
• Probiotic (Transpower, Everfresh, Prozyta etc)
• Test Kits (TDS, pH, NO2, NO3, DO, Salinity etc)
• Mixed Accessories (Air Oxy Tube, Connector, Bubble Stone, Raw Salt, molasses, CaCo3 etc)
• Feed (CP, Anmol, Ganga Kaveri etc)
• Seed (Species such as shrimp and tilapia have physiological adaptations that allow them to consume Biofloc and digest microbial protein, thereby taking advantage of Biofloc as a food resource. Nearly all Biofloc systems are used to grow shrimp, tilapia, or carps)
• Medicines (including minerals)

2. Additional Requirements

• Outlet pipe (SWR Pipe)/UPVC of 3″ diameter with fittings
• Plumbing fittings for water supply
• Roof shade arrangement
• Foam sheet (To use in between Tarpaulin and GI wire mesh and also for Tarpaulin bottom surface and base)
• Nylon wire to tie

You need accurate information and its important to set up Biofloc fish farm and to be able to get a good profit from the business. You can not succeed without this know-how.

You should get the training from and only from an experienced Biochemical Engineer. Do not modify the engineering, it is already tested in the labs.

• Basics of Aquaculture
• Basics of Biofloc Technology (BFT)
• Water Analysis or Lab Test
• Water Preparation
• Aeration System
• Tank Setup
• Seed Selection for Culture
• Feed Selection and System
• Biosecurity
• Disease Management and Growth

Hope this will help. But, we always urge to consult with Biochemical Engineer and then take any decision.
